SUPERNOVAE 2006jf-2006ld

In addition, three additional apparent supernovae have been
discovered on unfiltered CCD images:  2006ke and 2006kf by J.
Schwehr, D. Madison, and W. Li (LOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8762); and
2006ld by the "Nearby Supernova Factory" collaboration (details on
CBET 689).

SN      2006 UT       R.A.  (2000.0)  Decl.   Mag.     Offset
2006ke  Oct. 19.51   5 52 37.38  +66 49 00.5  18.7  7".0 E, 2".6 N
2006kf  Oct. 21.46   3 41 50.48  + 8 09 25.0  17.4  5".5 W, 10".6 S

Additional magnitudes for 2006ke in UGC 3365:  Oct. 13.52 UT, [19.0;
20.49, 18.3.  SN 2006ke appears to be a subluminous type-Ia
supernova around maximum light (details on CBET 684).  Additional
magnitudes for 2006kf in UGC 2829:  Sept. 26.53, [18.8; Oct. 23.45,
17.6.  SN 2006kf is a type-Ia supernova before maximum B brightness
(details on CBET 691).  SN 2006ld in UGC 348 is a type-Ib supernova
some 1-2 weeks past maximum (details on CBET 689); nothing was
visible at the location of 2006ld on a NEAT image taken on Sept. 20
(limiting mag approximately 20.0).
